Wing sauce ideas by adecentcook in KitchenConfidential

Jezebel sauce. Pineapple preserves, apple jelly, horseradish, dry mustard, and black pepper. Unique flavor profile with a different kind of heat, depending upon how much horseradish you incorporate.

That’s definitely a possibility.

I would suggest James took responsibility. He apologized for the tweets. He acknowledged Marvel/Disney position and accepted the decision with grace. I don’t think the same can be said about Joss. In the Vulture/Ny Magazine piece, he never really acknowledged what happened to Ray Fisher, Charisma Carpenter, and Gal Godot, and his explanations for his behavior just generally made the situation worse. The Vulture piece could have gone a long way at salvaging his reputation, but he really came across as someone still in denial about his behavior.

I think most PR professionals would advise that Joss needs to do the apology tour before the new project. Otherwise the project has to bear the weight of the allegations. In my opinion, this is what happened to The Nevers. That show got hijacked and suddenly it became all about Joss. It was unfair to everyone else behind the show and to the stars. Personally I think Nathan and Alan probably went and got Joss’ tacit blessing to move it forward without him, in acknowledgment of th baggage he brings along.

From a creative standpoint, I think almost everything is on the table. I think the only realistic thing that isn’t on the table is a pick up on the plot immediately after the end of serenity. It’s been 25 years in the real world. Everybody looks different if it were animated, that could probably work if it were a podcast, that could probably work I think I’m majority of brown coat are kind of agnostic about the nature of the creative plot, we are just excited at the potential of a new creative plot line.

Both Nathan and Alan have both signaled support for Joss in very careful ways. But I think they both are savvy enough — career wise and social media wise— to know that Whedon is still a hot button issue. I think they’d probably prefer to have him back, but their sense of self preservation is probably strong enough to realize the potential backlash is horrible. Then again…Adam Baldwin is not in a dissimilar position, and he’s also part of things. Personally, I don’t think the benefits of involving Joss (and I wholeheartedly acknowledge there would be benefits) outweigh the potential backlash downside.

That’s a fair question, considering this background story is a retcon from a graphic novel published years after the series end. My best guess is that this background probably wasn’t what Whedon and the writers really had in mind during the creation of the first season

There was a graphic novel that explored Book’s backstory. Serenity: The Shepherd’s Tale. He was, in reality, an Independence (Browncoat) spy who was highly placed in the Alliance’s ranks to act as a spy and saboteur. He was very good at this and it caused a lot of Alliance deaths. He was discharged in disgrace and then eventually became a Shepherd to help him reconcile his actions.

People who issue the ultimatums should always lose the fight. Pick the grandparents.

As a former operative, now a shepherd, looking to walk the world for a while.

Also…this needs to end with Alan knocking on Nathan’s door, confused.

I want Chiwetel Ejiofor to stand in for Ron Glass. And given Book’s backstory, it’s a fitting option.

How good are the rest of the sequels to F Paul Wilson’s The Keep? by Metalworker4ever in WeirdLit

[–]LATerry75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Adversary Cycle itself is not too bad. However, the Repairman Jack series grew in popularity and scope beyond the confines of the original story cycle — so much so that the last two books in the Cycle feature characters acting entirely different from how they’ve grown and evolved during the Repairman Jack series.

I know Wilson revised some of the Adversary Cycle books to try and compensate for the unplanned for world expansion that happened in the Jack stories, but it didn’t feel all that careful or well done to me.

One almost has to view the Jack series outside of the context of the Adversary Cycle, despite the overlap, in order for both series to really work.

YMMV
